Safety Inspection

The safety inspection program is managed within the Office of Structure Preservation and Management of the Bureau of Bridges and Structures. The program ensures compliance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) through comprehensive performance of inspection timeliness verifications, annual FHWA NBIS Metric evaluations, inspection team leader qualification appraisals, and quality assurance reviews. The Office of Structure Preservation and Management also develops inspection procedures, responds directly to the FHWA Michigan Division Bridge Engineer, and serves as the recognized resource for all inspection related inquiries.
